1 Samuel 11:8-10

8When Saul counted them at Bezek, the Israelites were 300,000 strong and the men of Judah numbered 30,000.

9They said to the messengers who had come, “Here’s what you should say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow deliverance will come to you when the sun is fully up.’” When the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh Gilead, they were happy.

10The men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you and you can do with us whatever you wish.”
